Definitions

  • the invention concerns a sealing stopper for a drain valve with a sealing body, having an annular sealing surface, fastened to a chain.
  • a stopper of this type is disclosed in CH-A 544 540, where a protruding ear is provided on the upper side of the stopper, to which ear a chain is fastened by means of a two-part locking device.
  • the invention is intended to create a sealing stopper of the above-mentioned type, but with fewer individual parts, and with a sealing body which has no interfering parts on the upper side.
  • the problem is solved by fastening a segment of the chain directly and tightly onto the sealing body.
  • the sealing stopper according to the invention has the advantage of a simple design with only a few parts. Protruding parts and parts which are complicated to install have been avoided.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section view through a sealing stopper according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom view of a lid
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section view through the lid according to FIG. 2.
  • the sealing stopper shown belongs to the drain system of a bathtub (not shown).
  • An annular sealing part 2 e.g., of soft PVC, has a downward tapered sealing surface 8 which, in a locked state, rests against the complementary surface of the valve seat.
  • a lid 1 of relatively hard synthetic material, such as POM (polyoxyethylene), which has an upper surface 12, extending outward to the sealing surface 8.
  • POM polyoxyethylene
  • Molded onto the bottom side of the lid 1 is a cylindrical neck 6, which rests tightly against an inwardly directed flange 13 of the sealing part 2 and reaches behind it with an annular shoulder 5.
  • a rim 11 extends outward and rests with its bottom side on the sealing part 2. Between the rim 11 and the sealing part 2 an annular space 15 is defined, into which an end segment 4 of a ball chain is set. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this segment 4 sits in a hemispherical recess 14 of a projection 7, arranged on the bottom side of rim 11.
  • This projection 7 is reinforced by two flanges 9 and has a narrow slit 10, which is also continued in the rim 11, and is somewhat wider than a joining segment 20 of the ball chain.
  • the end segment 4 may be formed the same as the remaining chain segments.
  • the ball 4 is set into the recess 14 and the sealing body 2 set onto the lid 1.
  • the part 2 is attached in a removable manner, it is possible to replace the chain 3, if necessary, in a simpler manner.
  • the lid is fashioned from a material which can easily be dyed in various colors.
